Light-induced formation of partially reduced oxygen species limits the lifetime of photosystem 1-based biocathodes

Photobiodevices use photosynthetic proteins such as those of the photosystem 1 (PS1) to enable light-induced charge separation, but they suffer from limited long-term stability. Here authors employ scanning photoelectrochemical microscopy on a PS1 biocathode and find that several pathways generate o...
